Time and transitions

Stopping one thing to start another is hard. Making time visible helps.

Try this first

A 3-step starter

  1. 1

    Give a warning

    Say "5 minutes left" and show a timer they can see.

  2. 2

    Show what's next

    A picture or note of the next activity makes the switch easier.

  3. 3

    Keep it predictable

    Same cues for the same transitions, every day.
